Josh's 1st Holy Communion


It was Josh's 1st Holy Communion ceremony today and the mass was held at the Brompton Oratory Church, where he has been attending cathechism classes this year. Boys looking real smart in their suits and girls looking like little brides brightened up this already breathtakingly beautiful church ...

It's a real pity the church disallows any form of picture taking during mass but we did take a picture of the altar area before the mass started ... such grandeur ... it would have been a pity if we had not done so.


The hymns sung by the children's choir are still haunting me as I type this. Tears welled up forming mini hot springs in my eyes and my chest constricted, all filled with pride, as Josh was given his first holy communion .

A reception was held afterwards in the church's massive back garden and amidst the eating, and chatting, and congratulations, and thank you's ... we managed to squeeze in a couple of nice shots ...
